Four Sides To Every Story

Description

The Canadian melodic rock group Fatal Vision is back with their new studio album, *Four Sides To Every Story*, scheduled for release on May 22, 2026 via Escape Music. This album represents their most ambitious and cinematic work to date, blending powerful melodic rock songwriting with a narrative visual concept that has become the hallmark of their recent productions. Building on the success of their album *Three Times Lucky*, Fatal Vision continues to explore their artistic vision with a record that addresses the emotional complexity of relationships, heartbreak, and redemption. The album's title reflects the idea that every story can be perceived from different angles, an approach that influences both the musical and visual storytelling of the project. The album includes fourteen songs, each accompanied by its own music video, thus forming the fourth season of Fatal Vision's cinematic video series. Together, these videos tell the story of a young woman recovering from a breakup, with the same actors portraying the same characters throughout this love saga. Musically, "Four Sides To Every Story" firmly belongs to the tradition of timeless melodic rock that defines Fatal Vision, drawing inspiration from classic bands such as Survivor, Bad English, Heart, Van Halen, Journey, and Asia, while introducing new sounds. Several tracks explore more progressive arrangements, with tempo changes and contrasting sections that enrich the band's musical palette without losing any of its innate sense of melody and emotional impact. The album brings together an impressive lineup of guest musicians and collaborators from the international melodic rock scene. The songwriting is primarily handled by Simon Marwood and Juan Miguel Gomez Montant, with contributions from Alessandro Del Vecchio, Michael Shotton, and members of Boulevard. For the first time in the band's history, bassist Andrew Burns and drummer Alex Wickham also contributed to the writing of two tracks. The album also includes "Turn Around," Fatal Vision's very first single, which has already amassed over 150,000 streams and appears on an album for the first time. The production of Four Sides To Every Story was handled by Marwood, Montant, and JK Northrup, with mixing entrusted to JK Northrup and legendary producer Ron Nevison, known for his work with artists such as Heart, Survivor, and Europe. Mike Shotton oversaw the lead vocal production, while Alessandro Del Vecchio handled the backing vocals, contributing to the richness of the harmonies and the power of the album's vocal arrangements.
